Mera Peak:
(6654 metres) Mera Peak is a very famous trekking peak in Nepal and the highest permitted trekking peak. It lies to the south of Mt. Everest. J.O.M. Roberts and Sen Tenzing were the first to successfully climb this peak on May 20th 1953. The route they used is still the normal route. This adventure is a good introductory mountaineering experience. All the hard work and effort will pay off by the stunning scenery that Mera Peak provides.
This peak presents a panoramic view of Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Baruntse, Chooyu, Ama Dablam, Kangtega and Mount Everest. It will present the view of Lhotse and Nupse ridge too. Generally we set a high camp and ascend to the top of the Peak from high camp and then can return back to base camp on the same day. This is a great adventure in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal.
Island Peak:
Island Peak is 6160 metres high. This peak was named as an island peak by Erick Shipton's group in 1953 as the peak resembles an island in a sea of ice when observed from Dingboche. The same peak was named Imja Tse in 1983. The peak was first climbed in 1953 by a British group as preparation for climbing Mt. Everest. Among them was Mr. Tenzing Norgay.
The peak is part of the south ridge of Lhotse Shar and the main land forms a semicircle of cliffs that rise to the north of the summits of Nuptse, Lhotse, Middle Peak and Lhotse Shar. Cho Polu and Makalu lie to the east of the Island Peak. Baruntse, Amphu and Ama Dablam lie to the south.
